This one-bedroom semi‑detached bungalow offers a compact, low‑maintenance home in central Canterbury — ideal for first‑time buyers or investors seeking reliable rental demand.

Location is the standout feature. You are under a five‑minute walk from Canterbury West station with fast rail links to London and Ashford, and the city centre’s shops, cafes and cultural attractions are within easy reach. Local amenities are plentiful and the neighbourhood is mixed with students and professionals, supporting rental and resale appeal.
Practical points to note: internal space is limited (total approx. 388 sq ft) and the plot is very small, so this will suit buyers seeking convenience over large living areas. Crime levels are reported as high for the immediate area; purchasers should consider security measures and check local crime statistics. Services such as heating (mains gas boiler and radiators) and glazing are in place but untested — buyers must verify appliances, wiring and plumbing as part of their own investigations.
Overall, this property delivers strong commuter convenience, low upkeep and straightforward ownership (Freehold, modest service charge). It represents a sensible entry‑level purchase or a compact rental opportunity, provided buyers are comfortable with the limited internal space and the local crime profile.
